What's On in Martinborough
Martinborough’s busy calendar of events takes place against the backdrop of the work that goes on in the vineyards throughout the year. From bud burst in spring to winter pruning there’s always something happening amongst the vines.
On the third Sunday in November there’s more going on than usual with the annual Toast Martinborough festival, bringing together the unbeatable combination of premium wines, outstanding food and great music in a selection of vineyard locations.
The range of events grows each year and with spring festival, craft fairs, fun runs and winery concerts there’s always something going on. Accommodation sells out fast for the big weekends so it is best to book early to avoid disappointment.
